It wasn't just one thing that got me motivated, it was a whole collection of things...
* All of my friends are very slim people, I always feel like the odd one out. I'll go shopping with them & they will go to the clothing stores where it seems like the size XL is really a Medium.
*& I hate getting those judgmental stares from people.
* My Dad is one of those people who beleives that all women should be skinny, he is always making fun of my weight, to some points where it almost brings me to tears.
* I'm a college student and the desks in some of my classes, I could barely get myself into, I was so embarrased.
*I had let myself get so big that I just hated myself for it, & I was just praying for God to let me die.

Then one day, I woke up & realized that I deserve more than what I'm giving myself credit for. & I can change this, it may take some time, but I beleive I can do it!
